Pervasive Beauty
Tonight Scott and I looked at the photographs entered in the BJU Commencement Contest. The varied subject matter of the photos reminded me that beauty pervades everything. Even all that has been marred by the Fall retains, to a greater or lesser extent, its original beauty. As the Preacher wrote, “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time” (Eccl. 3:11).

Indeed you are right. I’ve written about this, you know. Modernists demand we Christians to explain how we have a world full of evil and pain. We ought to ask them how we get a world of goodness and beauty.

Photographs have a tendency to “accord value to their subjects,†even the most tawdry, and time “eventually positions most photographs, even the most amateurish, at the level of art.†Susan Sontag, On Photography (1973)
